What's a WIP means on a stash commit?

$ git stash list
stash@{0}: WIP on master: 049d078 added the index file
stash@{1}: WIP on master: c264051 Revert "added file_size"
stash@{2}: WIP on master: 21d80a5 added number to log

I'm just curious.

From the git-stash documentation:

A stash is by default listed as "WIP on branchname …​", but you can give a more descriptive message on the command line when you create one.

WIP stands for work in progress.
